Target Field will host its first noncountry concert July 26 with the Skyline Music Festival, a gig featuring Soul Asylum, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Matthew Sweet and the Gear Daddies. It's a stop on a nationwide package tour that sees each act playing one of its classic albums in its entirety.

Tickets are $45 to $25 and will go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday, May 30, via TwinsBaseball.com or 612-338-9467.

The stage will be set up in foul territory near third base, with seating limited to sections along the third base side of the ballpark. It's a new concert configuration for Target Field that will give fans an intimate view of the concert as well as views of the Minneapolis skyline.

Each of the acts will perform its breakthrough album from the '90s. Local favorites Soul Asylum went international with 1992's "Grave Dancers Union," the triple-platinum record that spawned the hits "Somebody to Shove," "Black Gold" and "Runaway Train." Big Head Todd and the Monsters' 1993 disc "Sister Sweetly" was the band's major-label debut and topped 1 million in sales. Power pop master Matthew Sweet's 1991 album "Girlfriend" put Sweet on the map and earned him critical acclaim, as well as his biggest hit with the title track. Minnesota's own Gear Daddies are special guests and will perform songs from their three albums, including "Boys Will be Boys" and "Zamboni."

Target Field opened in 2010 and hosted country superstar Kenny Chesney for its first concert last summer.
